Enable Facebook Comment Moderation On Your Website

Introduction :

Most of us wants to implement or already have Facebook comments feature on our websites. Recently we've also added Facebook comments feature to our website and people start asking me about comment moderation. Many people reported that they have no control over Facebook Comments and they don't get notified for new comments. So today I am sharing an easy way to enable comment moderation and new comments notifications on your Facebook Account.

How To :

Make sure your Facebook comment box is using your App ID because if it's not using your App ID then you won't get any control over it. We are pretending that you have already installed this plugin on your website and you want to moderate the comments only. Many users wants notifications, but Facebook no longer delivers notifications for new comments. You have to login into your Facebook Developers account to check and approve new comments. Let's see how to enable moderation on Facebook comments of your website.

Change Your_APP_ID with the App ID you're using with that plugin. Paste this link in to your browser to open the comments settings of your plugin, bookmark this link because you will it need later.

• Step 1 : Open the above link and click on settings.

• Step 2 : Add your name to moderators and change the moderation mode to Let me approve each comment before it appears.

• Step 3 : Make sure haven't choose anything in Blacklisted words because some comments will automatically be hidden and not appear in moderation list.

• Step 4 : Go to your Blogger dashboard and open templates. Click on Edit HTML and press Ctrl+F on your keyboard. Now search the following code in your template.

</head> 

• Step 5 : Paste the following code before </head>  in your template.

<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageTitle' property='og:title'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.url' property='og:url'/>
<meta content='article' property='og:type'/>
<meta content='Tutorials Hour' property='og:site_name'/>
<meta content='Image-Link-Of-Blog-Logo' property='og:image'/>
<meta content='YOUR_APP_ID ' property='fb:app_id'/>
<meta content='http://www.facebook.com/tutorialshour' property='fb:admins'/>

• Replace Tutorials Hour with your website title 
• Add your blog's logo link, at the place of Image-Link-Of-Blog-Logo. This logo will appear next to your post titles on Facebook profiles of visitors.
• Change YOUR_APP_ID with your Facebook App ID that you're using with that plugin.
• Replace http://www.facebook.com/tutorialshour with your Facebook profile link. This will confirm that you're the owner of website and new comments will start reflecting in the moderation section of comments. 

• Step 6 : Everything is done now, just save the template and open the following link.

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments/?id=Your_APP_ID

• Replace Your_APP_ID with your App ID that you're using with the comment box.

Ask your friends to comment on your website with their Facebook Account to test out everything. When anyone comment on your website, you'll get those comments in Moderator View to approve, hide or delete them.
